The problem for Dane wasn't just the porn, but allegedly viewing it while she was supposed to be monitoring other officers. Her answer to investigators? "I don't want to say I didn't have any idea what they were doing because then that would be obviously very wrong. I did pay attention to my radio and listen to what they were doing," Orlando TV station WESH quoted her as saying.

At least one Indonesian politician purportedly left politics after being caught watching pornography on his tablet -- during a session of parliament. Not all public officials necessarily suffer the consequences, though. In 2011, some employees of the Securities and Exchange Commission were said to have come under investigation for watching a massive amount of porn during work time -- on computers and via Internet access paid for by taxpayers -- but without serious consequences.

In Dane's case, she probably should have known better, as she's said to already have been disciplined in 2011 and 2012 for personal use of city computers and suspended in 2012 for tanning on the job. And she was no rookie, with 18 years on the force, according to her LinkedIn profile. On her Facebook page, she also describes herself as a mother of two who likes the TV show "Cougar Town" (a 40-something divorced Florida mother who likes younger men).

There is some strong irony in Dane's downfall. The matter reportedly came to light after Dane accused a supervisor of sexual harassment in May: As part of the investigation, her photos and use of sex websites, some dating to 2009, were found. So, her attempts to remove unwanted attention from her sex life resulted in unwanted attention to her sex life. The supervisor is said to have been cleared.
